In Guling City, Major Tianzhong of the Japanese Guling garrison was a little careless. He underestimated the ability of the Jinsui Army to cause trouble;
He had previously received an order to abandon Guling City and withdraw his troops to Zezhou City, but he did not resolutely implement it.
"Bagaya Road, this group of rat-like Jinsui Army, one division dares to attack a county guarded by a garrison brigade of the Imperial Army. This time we must let them know how powerful the Imperial Army is!"
Major Tanaka shouted loudly at several squadron leaders.
The lower-level officers of the Japanese are all war madmen. In the field, one of their brigades dares to pursue a division of the Central Army. Now that they have a strong city as a backbone, they will not be afraid of a mere Jinsui military division.
Captain Hoshino, who had just withdrawn from Chenguanzhuang, had long been holding back resentment in his heart. According to his temper, he wanted to fight with Li Chendong in Chenguanzhuang. However, it was difficult to disobey military orders, so he led his troops to withdraw to Guling City;
Unexpectedly, the Jinsui Army took advantage of the situation and took up the idea of Guling City. It is true that my uncle can tolerate it and my aunt can tolerate it, but he, Captain Hoshino, absolutely cannot tolerate it!
As soon as Major Tanaka finished speaking, Captain Hoshino jumped out and shouted:
"Your Excellency, Captain, the 72nd Division of the Jinsui Army that besieged Guling City is the local army of China, with six to seven thousand people. It is a garbage-like team with low combat effectiveness;
The warriors of the Imperial Army are worth ten, and the Hoshino Squadron is willing to be the vanguard, fight out of the city, and defeat the 338th enemy regiment at the east gate in one fell swoop! "
Tanaka was suddenly speechless. Although he looked down upon the 72nd Division of the Jinsui Army, Hoshino, this bastard, was almost crazy to the point of no end.
He still knows about the 338th Regiment, the main regiment of the 72nd Division, with more than 2,600 people in one regiment, but the Hoshino Squadron is not full, with only more than 120 people. This is not one for ten, but one for twenty!
"Captain Hoshino knows how brave and brave the Jinsui Army is. Since the Jinsui Army wants to attack the city, we will wait for work and let them attack the solid wall of Guling City. After the imperial army relied on the city wall to inflict heavy casualties on the 72nd Division of the Jinsui Army, Then use all the main force to defeat them in one fell swoop!
Since Mr. Hoshino has asked for a fight, the east city gate will be handed over to your squadron. I will add 50 more warriors to you. We must not let the 338th Regiment, the main force of the Chinese Army, take a single step over the line and inflict heavy damage. "
Captain Hoshino immediately beamed with joy when he heard this. This was the biggest piece of meat. Not only did the captain give it to him, but he also added 50 warriors to him. In this way, his squadron was basically full and could deal with a mere 338 regiment. He is still full of confidence.
"Thank you, Captain, for your cultivation. Hoshino Squadron will definitely make the 338th Regiment a river of blood!"
Generals gathered at the headquarters of the 72nd Division of the Shanxi-Sui Army
Colonel Deng Fangzhou, chief of staff of the 72nd Division, is making pre-war deployments on the map:
"Master, my colleagues, since the winter offensive, all units of our Shanxi-Sui Army have made smooth progress and achieved fruitful results;
The Japs were retreating steadily, and the surrounding Japs all shrank into Guling City, with a group of more than 800 people!
Our 72nd Division has three main regiments, as well as artillery, engineers, a battalion of baggage troops, and a company of cavalry, with a total strength of about 8,000. The enemy's strength is ten to one, and we have the advantage!
There is a saying in the art of war: if you are ten, you can surround it, if you are five, you can attack it, if you have doubled it, you can fight it, if the enemy is small, you can divide it, and if you have a small number, you can defend it——"
The commander of the 72nd Division couldn't listen anymore and quickly stopped him:
"Chief of Staff, don't drop your book bag and get to the point!"
The group leaders below, including Li Chendong, almost couldn't hold back their laughter. Deng Fangzhou's face turned red and white. This was so embarrassing.
"Yes, Commander! Everyone, according to the instructions of the Division Commander, we will adopt the strategy of encircling three buildings and one. We will mainly attack the east gate, pretend to attack the south gate and north gate, and leave the west gate for the Japanese to break through, so that the Japanese will not follow the 72nd Division. Fight desperately, what we want is Guling City!
Commander Li of the 338th Regiment will be responsible for the main attack on the east gate. The divisional artillery battalion will be strengthened for you. The second and third regiments will pretend to attack the south gate and the north gate respectively..."
After the chief of staff's deployment, it was naturally the turn of the division commander Lieutenant General Xu Wanxiao to give instructions. Although Lieutenant General Xu had no education, he had a great background and was a direct descendant of the commander-in-chief!
Lieutenant General Xu is from Xujia Village in Wutai Mountain. This village may not sound very famous, but opposite him is the home of Chief Yan. There is also an army major general in his village, who is the deputy commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army;
When the Eighth Route Army was reorganized, the government conferred titles on many generals of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. Division commanders were awarded lieutenant generals, and deputy division commanders and brigade commanders were awarded major generals.
Although Lieutenant General Xu is one level higher than Major General Xu of the Eighth Route Army in terms of military rank, their fighting skills are not even the slightest difference. The key point is that Lieutenant General Xu Wanxiao has not yet realized this and always regards himself as the number one general in Xujiacun. This book Starting to show off again:
"Brothers, the commander-in-chief attaches great importance to this winter offensive. I have repeatedly told me that we must show off our soldiers from the Three Jin Dynasties. Let the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army, Shuzhong, and our elders from the Three Jin Dynasties see it. The Eighth Route Army was not the only one fighting the Japanese in Jin Dynasty!
The land of Jin belongs to us Jin people. The Eighth Route Army, the Central Army, and the Japanese are all going to leave. The land of the Three Jins will still be returned to our hands!
Guling City must be built well and beautifully!
Do you know what it means to be beautiful?
Li Chendong, you are the leader of the main attack group, and you are also a descendant of us from the Three Jin Dynasties. Can you tell me how to fight this beautiful battle? "
When Li Chendong saw his commander ordering his general, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart:
"As expected of a person from the village opposite the main seat. He can obviously say it himself, but he has to let me say it. He has to take advantage of it."
Of course, Li Chendong dared to sneer in his heart. Although he was an informant placed by the government around the Jinsui Army, Lieutenant General Xu was not something that a small colonel like him could offend.
"Report to the division commander, I will definitely capture the east gate and control the number of casualties to less than 300!"
Li Chendong's words made Xu Wanxiao burst into laughter instantly and said to himself:
"This kid Li Chendong still wins my heart! If anyone calls him a fool in the future, I will be the first to slap him!
Now Li Chendong is no longer Wu Xia Ameng! "
"Captain Li, I am confident that you will fight. As long as you take the east gate, the first prize will be yours. After the war, I will personally ask the boss for credit!"
Commander Li is still aware of the difficulty of maintaining his position. There are only 60,000 or 70,000 people left in our Jinsui Army. The general will hand over the main division of the 72nd Division to the hands of this division commander. Winning the battle is important, but preserving the blood of the Jinsui Army of equal importance!
The 72nd Division is definitely needed in Guling City. The commander-in-chief needs to comfort the elders of the three Jin Dynasties, but the strength cannot be too much. Do you all understand? "
The Second Regiment Commander, the Third Regiment Commander, and others were also smart people. Smart people were easy to talk to. Their reactions made Lieutenant General Xu feel relieved.
"The great victory in Guling is secured!"
Before the battle even started, he was already looking forward to the supreme glory of the victory in Guling!
Ximen is not left for nothing, it depends on whether the Japanese know what he wants.
